Unfortunately, every action that YOU take (good or bad) has a real impact on ME.
Why? Because BIG BROTHER gets into the act.  After all, the reasoning goes
something like this.  If you go out and get hurt, you become a ward of the
state. Therefore, the state must protect you from doing something stupid.
If some random diver goes out and gets hurt or killed while diving, the
state decides that it must regulate diving activities. (Don't say that
doesn't happen. Just look to QLD!)  The state fails to differentiate
between the trained diver diving with proper training and equipment and the
undertrained, unequipted, idiot. So, YOUR ill advised actions DO affect ME.
